The true failures in life are still blaming Bush, as this clown still does.

GOP closing gap in stunning Senate race

Republican candidate surging toward upset victory in 'Democrat-leaning' state
Friday, September 28, 2012
wnd.com

For most of 2012, the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race was considered a yawner – but now the contest is getting exciting.

Incumbent Democrat Bob Casey held a strong lead for months and was up by 20 points just a month ago. But four new polls are showing a much different story, as Republican challenger Tom Smith has now closed to as few as three points behind Casey.

A businessman for 44 years, Smith told WND’s Greg Corombos his biggest challenge was building name recognition and informing voters of the real Casey legacy. Smith referred to Casey as “Senator Zero” for his failure to pass one piece of legislation after nearly six years in office. But that doesn’t mean Casey doesn’t have a record to defend. Smith is pounding the senator over his support for raising the debt ceiling, dramatically increasing spending and providing the decisive vote for Obamacare.

The alleged Democratic “War on Coal” is high on the agenda for Smith as well. He said a resource-rich state like Pennsylvania could create countless jobs and be a major part of the nation becoming energy independent – if the federal government would just get out of the way.

Smith further advocated shuttering the Department of Energy, contending it has utterly failed to achieve the purpose for which it was created more than 30 years ago.

Smith expects his surge to continue in the race against Sen. Casey. While President Obama is favored to win the state, Smith pointed out that 2010 was a huge Republican year in the state and he expects 2012 to be more of the same.

Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.

In the 11 swing states, the president and Mitt Romney are tied with 46% support each. Four percent (4%) are not sure, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

The candidates have been tied or in a near tie every day but one for the past three weeks.

In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.

When “ leaners” are factored in, Romney leads the president 48% to 47%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question.

Nationally, the race remains a toss-up in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
